"After 36 years of waiting, the dream is about to come true!"

"McManaman wins with the Golden Ball! The Three Lions march to Yokohama! ”

"Once swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, England moves for nine days!"

The battle reports were spreading, and the Anglo-Pakistani battle spread all over the world, with mixed evaluations of the two teams.

Some people think that Brazil played the pinnacle of offensive football, although the defeat is still glorious, some people think that England relied on delaying and foul tactics to enter extra time in the second half to win the victory, some people think that England has defeated the South American duo in a row, and pragmatic defense will become the mainstream of football in the future, some people think

Football is often like this, not the best to play, not the most in line with the values of more people must win!

The uncrowned king of the Netherlands can win the hearts of countless fans in the world, but it can't win a Hercules Cup.

The team on the cusp of the storm, whether it wins or loses, cannot escape someone pulling their ears and scolding on the left, and someone holding their cheeks on the right to admire and obsess.

When a team has an obvious change, it is easiest to highlight the head coach, the most intuitive change is the record, followed by the technique and tactics, even if the winning general changes the skills and tactics, but as long as it is still in the victory, the role of the head coach is not obvious, but the team from strong to weak, from weak to strong, the ups and downs of the record, will be the most likely time for the head coach to become the focus.

In the past, England's slightly stereotyped 442 has always had a high record and a low record, who is the head coach? It seems that it is rarely remembered by the outside world.

And now England, not only the record is soaring, but the technical and tactical play is full of new colors. Aldrich couldn't help but be noticed. There's no way not to be touted or bastard.

The one who slammed him. It's nothing more than that the young marshal has also become utilitarian, and he has become only shrinking, and even shamelessly letting the players use rough fouls to be despicable.

Those who admire him will look at the manager's efforts in the England-Brazil clash with him, from the equalisation of the first half to the magnificence of the winning goal.

This is the obvious Aldrich color, the young marshal style.

It doesn't have to be fixed in a defensive or offensive framework. But there are always surprises.

The overall anti-reversal has become a hot topic in the outside world, among which the flexible changes in the counterattack routine, the use of changing forwards, and the powerful blow of 9 people over the half that may never appear again have given enough basis for the theory of supporters and critics.

McManaman became a hero, and the British football program vigorously analyzed the attack that scored the goal in extra time, combined with Aldridge's pre-overtime and the team's heads together to arrange tactics, without looking for Aldridge to confirm, the outside world knew that such a shocking move must have originated from the deployment at that time.

Critics from all walks of life. Celebrities have stood up and spat at the mouth to explain the analysis, which seems to be mysterious and mysterious. For example, whether this attack appears, develops, or ends from the opportunity, the whole process includes the right time, place, and people.

However, it was Woodward, the coach of the England national rugby team, who said the essence of it succinctly, which made the outside audience feel quite clear: "If England's last attack was like watching a rugby game, football became rugby, and the players used their feet instead of their hands, wouldn't it be much easier to understand?" Aldrich Hall should probably consider a career change to become a rugby coach, and I'm sure he will be able to achieve great success. ”

Someone who is interested listens to it and thinks that this is really the truth.

Run, attract, disrupt, shelter the front row and cover the enemy, the back row attack is calm and orderly, and the opportunity is finalized.

It's a pity, this is football after all, no coach will follow the offensive routine, rugby has been interrupted, arrange the offensive and defensive group from the static start, football, except for 45 minutes of stopping, the rest of the time even if the game is interrupted, it is impossible to return the formation of both sides to the original static, in the flow of the game, how can it be possible to do every attack like rugby crazy into the attack?

However, when it comes to Woodward's words, the admiration of Aldridge by outside supporters has taken it to the next level.

Lo and behold, the young marshals have all been used in football games from rugby stealing!

England left Tokyo on the evening of their semi-finals, and four days later, the final will be played in Yokohama, where they have already arrived in Yokohama.

Aldrich was not reunited with her family, and Melanie came to Japan and wandered around with her two sons.

When preparing for the World Cup final in Yokohama, the players of the England team were particularly serious on the training ground, and sat on the pitch in groups of three or five during the break.

Ferdinand and Bart, who missed the final, still participate in training, but their state is obviously different from others, as if they are easier than substitutes, of course, they can't get to the final.

At the same time, Ferdinand fell into transfer rumors again, and Leeds United couldn't help but sell him for cash.

At the same time, there was news from the British side that due to disagreements over the transfer of Ferdinand, Leeds United coach O'Reilly fell out with Leeds United chairman Ritzdale and left!

Ferdinand is going to be sold is a sure thing, anyway, his World Cup is basically over, after the third day of training, he privately found Aldridge and had some negotiations, hinting that he wanted to transfer back to Millwall, Aldridge pretended not to understand his hints, did not say anything, in fact, Ferdinand knew that he could not return to Millwall, how could Aldridge not understand?

When it came to O'Reilly's resignation and Ferdinand's intention to return to Millwall, Aldridge always felt that neither of them was kind.

Without O'Reilly's demands and commitments, how could Ritzdale gamble on Leeds' future in recent years?

After losing the bet, O'Reilly patted his ass and left, leaving a mess for White Rose, and that's it, and the media said that O'Reilly was a successful retirement.

Ferdinand was also not kind, he left as soon as he wanted, and now he sees that Millwall has sold Materazzi. The centre-back position needs to be supplemented. I came to the door to recommend myself.

If he hadn't walked out of Millwall. Aldridge took him to the Lion King Stadium without saying a word.

But Millwall is no longer a place where he can come and go whenever he wants, whether it is the giants or Aldridge's own face that doesn't know how much it is worth, anyway, he doesn't want Ferdinand, there are many good central defenders in the world, Millwall wants to poach people, to be famous, to have money. Afraid that you won't be able to buy someone?

June 29th

Aldridge's press conference for the World Cup final, which was full of buzz a few days ago, now seems to be as if all journalists are no longer critical and provocative.

The press conference was conducted in an orderly manner and was normally uneventful.

'The Germans were a very physical team and that was a clear contribution to their progress to the tournament as they qualified, with England playing extra-time, albeit not for long, with one less day of rest than the Germans, indeed. Physically, the German team will have a certain advantage. But when I think about the World Cup final, the impact of fitness has become minimal, and the most important thing is willpower, and in this regard, the German team is famous all over the world, and I believe that England will put into the game with the willpower that is not inferior to the German team. ”

"Ballack's absence is good news for us, without Ballack, Germany would not have been in the final, he is too important to the German team, he is the soul of the team, but as I said before, if we look down on the German team because of this, the willpower of the opposing team will make England regret, we also have two players who are not able to play, they are sad, the reality is a little cruel to them, but their teammates will use the victory to soothe their regret as much as possible."

In the evening, in Osaka, the Brazilian team, which failed to advance to the final, was on fire, and the South Korean team, which was fighting locally, probably wanted to fight for a third place and played very unrestrainedly, and was bloodied by the Samba Army.

6:0.

The 3R combination turned the Korean Taiji Tigers into pet cats, and Hiddink disdained Aldridge's dense defense before the game, and the Dutch coach's natural attacking factor made the Asian Red Devils lose vigorously.

There will be no suspense for the alien to win the top scorer in this World Cup, he scored 9 goals in 7 games, not only breaking the curse of the top scorer in the World Cup for more than 20 years, but also throwing off Klose, who is second in the scorer list, by 4 goals.

Can Klose play a senior against England?

Unless England's defence is paper-mâché, the Saudis have only allowed him to score three, and England really want to let Klose score four, preferring to believe that tomorrow will be the end of the world.

Xiao Luo also won a number of crowns, the assist king, and he also had 9 assists.

After the third-place match, if the Samba Army's gorgeous performance is to be scored, then it should be at least 90 points, a difference of 10 points, including their group stage adjustments, not perfect, and the lack of not breaking into the final.

But in any case, in this World Cup, the two days of ice and fire, the enthusiastic Samba Army has pushed offensive football to a peak in recent years, and the cold and ice-like Three Lions have sublimated the anti-counter philosophy,-for-tat but the same way, the highest pursuit of offensive and defensive balance has been perfectly presented in the two teams, maybe 10 more times to meet, the Brazilian team has a greater chance of winning, and England can not guarantee that they can win each other a few times, but in the semi-final of Saitama, it was England who finally had the last laugh.

30 June 2002.

Towards evening, Aldridge sat on a bus and led the Three Lions towards the Yokohama International Stadium.

Looking out the window at the backward scenery, you can see the fans in all shapes, you can see the new look brought by the World Cup, and you can feel the charm of football in the crowd.

His face was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The World Cup has come to the end, the end of this trip is just ahead, the Asian World Cup is full of wolves, the heroes are competing, and the final battle has entered the countdown.

England, Germany.

This is the old enemy described by the outside world, but in the past 100 years, Germany's bombers have turned half of London into ruins, 66 years Germany suffered a goal-line case, England won the Hercules Cup for the first time, and then, more than 30 years without beating Germany, now, European politics, Germany in the European Union and the United Kingdom game, the pound and the euro impact each other, one by one, intertwined, endless grievances, indescribable subtlety.

Enemy?

Absolutely can't be called, Germany is overlooking England, the league is good does not mean that the national team is strong, Germany is an old strong team full of medals of honor, England is actually a paper tiger, if the German team regards the England team as an old enemy, it is too unpursued, too dishonorable.

No matter how the outside media hype up this Anglo-German war, England can't be arrogant, even if the last meeting slaughtered Germany away from home, and Germany came to the final with the sound of scolding and controversy, and there are soul figures who can't play, presumably Worrall is not half easy at the moment, walking on thin ice and being cautious may be good, Aldridge led the Three Lions who killed the South American duo to compete with the German tank for the first place in the world, and the deer will naturally know after the fight, but mentally, The two teams were very little affected by the outside world.

Before dark, Germany and England both arrived at Yokohama International Stadium, and the last pinnacle match of the quadrennial World Cup was about to begin. (To be continued......)
